Hi, my name's Maria and I've been paper-crafting for several years. It all started with a few stamps, but with the addition of my Cricut, Cuttlebug and various other toys, my hobby has grown to a full time obsession!

Welcome

I created this blog as a way to keep up with my work as well as share it with others. I hope you enjoy it and feel free to use some of my ideas for your own creations, I just ask that you not use them for publications, contests or submissions. Also, I do not work for, nor am I compensated in any way by the companies whose products I use and mention. Thank you and I hope you come visit again soon.

Easter Card

Last weekend I spent many frustrating hours trying to come up with an Easter card. I finally decided to quit and just wait to see if anything came to me. Last night it did so I laid it out on the Gyspy and made it this morning.The bunny, lamb and chicks were cut with the Easter 2010 cart. The bunny was cut @ 1" in white then colored with an SU Creamy Caramel marker. The lamb is 11/2" and the chicks are 3/4", very tiny! The doily feature from the Easter cart was used for the sentiment tag, I thought it looked like a sun. Happy Easter is a Stampabilities stamp and was stamped in SU Summer Sun then traced over with a gold Copic Spica Glitter Marker. The basket and eggs are from the Doodle Charms cart. The eggs were cut @3/4" in white then colored with various SU Bold Brights Markers. The basket is 1". The tree is from the Serenade cart, cut at 3.5". A piece of green ric rac was used to simulate grass. The background paper was a scrap that was cut at 4 X 51/4". It was attached to a piece of SU Tempting Turquoise paper cut at 41/4" X 51/2."This card has a lot of tiny cuts, but was fun putting it together.Thanks for stopping by and enjoy your weekend. Hope it's as beautiful where you are as it is here today!Maria
